Justice GREEN delivered the opinion of the Court.
In this case, we decide whether a plaintiff who was denied his initial venue of choice can nonsuit his case in the transferee county and refile in a third county. We hold that a plaintiff cannot avoid a venue ruling in such a way. Because the trial court in the third county refused to enforce the prior order setting venue in the transferee county, we conditionally grant the writ of mandamus.
